​Seneca Village Montessori School is an African centered preschool built on the Montessori philosophy that strives to nourish the mind, body and spirit of its students. ​Our mission is to promote social responsibility, and work toward instilling a strong sense of self, cultural identity, and belonging in our students. As an authentic Montessori school, our curriculum and programs are designed to build a solid foundation in academics, as well as social, emotional, physical and moral development. This approach encourages a child’s independence, self-motivation, and decision-making skills.

Based on the premise that the children we serve are inherently competent, capable, and strong, St. Mary’s Child Center: · Impacts pre-school children in poverty -- who are at life and learning risk -- with the highest quality cognitive, creative, social, physical, and emotional learning experiences that will transition into a foundation for lifelong success. · Integrates highly effective professional educators with a proven learning philosophy. · Uses qualitative measures to show impact. · Is accountable to the children and families served, stakeholders and contributors, and the early childhood learning community..

The Sherman Oaks Cooperative Preschool has been welcoming children and parents since 1955. We are a unique program that offers both indoor spaces and a large outdoor classroom. We provide a developmentally appropriate program that is supported by an emergent curriculum. Our daily routine fosters the social, emotional, cognitive, large/fine motor and language development of each child. We emphasize positive communication and the use of problem solving tools. Our goal is to build a foundation to support social and intellectual competence both at school and at home.

We provide a child-centered environment facilitating independence and learning for the joy of learning, guided by the educational philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori. With a foundation of respect for self and others and a strong emphasis on cultural appreciation, our staff and parents create a supportive network for families to help children become well-rounded individuals. MSGL is a not-for-profit, parent-owned Montessori school serving Tippecanoe County, Indiana since 1972. We offer programs for more than 150 children between the ages of 1 and 9 years on our beautiful campus overlooking the Wabash River Valley in West Lafayette. We are accredited by the American Montessori Society.

Nestled in the nation’s capital in the richest museum complex in the world is the Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center, a model early childhood program that places children at the center of every experience. The vast collections are the foundation for the culturally diverse curriculum, which offers a rare opportunity for learning. As an organization, SEEC is a leader in the field of museum-based education and influences practice within museums and schools. Our educators apply best practices recognized in the early childhood field and enrich the children’s learning through an object-based approach to teaching, sharing the rich stories associated with these objects in ways that make the curriculum deeper and richer. Museum educators within the program build on the practice established within the SEEC model, serving as content experts on the museums and blending theory and practice as a basis for outside consulting and professional development.
